I think it would be most helpful to educate the public, starting with our own children, as to the difference between a pedophile and a situational or regressed molester; the majority of child molesters fall into this category.

What difference would it really make? If either type of pervert touched my kid or had a nude pic of my kid I would expect maximum punishment as a victim. I wouldn't plea to the Court and ask for leniancy for the Defendant because this creep molested my kid, but he was ONLY a situational molester.

I haven't read much of your background. You sound like a wife of a RSO....still trying to convince yourself that he's not all that bad because he only did whatever and didn't mean it?

See an abbreviation or acronym, but don't know what it stands for? Consult the Glossary.

Orolan, I think this can be taken even further...there are also different categories of "child molesters."  Not all child molesters are pedophiles, just as not all pedophiles are child molesters. Quoting from the "Criminal Law Lawyer Source" at http://www.criminal-law-lawyer-source.com/terms/molestation.html

"There is a common misconception that all child molesters are pedophiles. A pedophile is an adult with a psychosexual disorder whose primary sexual preference is children. Pedophiles develop this condition in adolescence to early adulthood and generally have the condition their entire lives. It is estimated that only between two and twelve percent of all child molestation cases are perpetrated by pedophiles. Conversely, not all pedophiles are child molesters. It is not a crime to have a sexual preference for children per se; it is a crime to act on these feelings and inclinations."

I think it would be most helpful to educate the public, starting with our own children, as to the difference between a pedophile and a situational or regressed molester; the majority of child molesters fall into this category.

The regressed molester DOES NOT have a preference for children, nor does he or she get any sexual pleasure from looking at child pornography. This class of offenders is treatable AND curable whereas pedophilia is considered more of a medical condition. In that light, it is an untrue statement to say that ALL child molesters get pleasure from looking at children in any capacity.

My opinion on child porn? Advertisements, cartoons, video games--all have been known to exploit children in a sexual fashion. I'm unable to find the site now, but there has been extensive research on subliminal sexual messages in advertisements containing children.  One particular image comes to mind of a young child--perhaps 8--long hair covering her "breasts"...where her breasts would be are two wine bottles, strategically placed to elude to the idea of the child's "breasts."

I guess we all see and believe what we want to see and believe...depending on our motives.
